As we draw closer to the year 2000 by the Western calendar,
we can expect to hear and see more material propagated by
those who claim to have some special secret knowledge, or
else a special link with entities not of this world. In
some cases, these entities will be presented as advanced
alien civilizations from other worlds who are coming to help
us in our transition to a higher order of consciousness,
what New Age adherents refer to as Ascension. In other
instances, the revelatory material will be attributed to
channeled spirit helpers, sages and philosophers from the
past who have come to enlighten the spiritual medium,
angelic beings of light, recently discovered lost
parchments & other lost sources of information.

One example of this, is that of Mr. Sheldon Nidle. When I
first became aware of the things being expounded by Mr.
Nidle, I took an interest in some of his predictions.
However, being the cautious person that I tend to be, I
viewed all of them with a great deal of skepticism. How many
times before have we seen prophecies or predictions with
specific dates attached to them? They are clearly too
numerous to name here, & they come from many different areas
of religion and New Age thought. One by one these
charlatans have been exposed for what they are when their
predictions failed to materialize in the time frames they
attached to them.

Hoping not to seem too repetitious, let me again say: It is
time for everyone to wake up and stop being duped by these
false prophets and false messiahs, these false seers &
prognosticators. There are many deceptive spirits & lying
voices in the world right now which some folks, due to their
rejection of the one true God and His Truth, have sadly
received with open arms & minds. In my view, I believe
everyone should sincerely question how much of this current
New Age material is actually God-inspired, and how much of
it might be demon-inspired.

When anyone starts making all kinds of predictions as a
Christian, or as a New Age seer or channeler, (Sheldon
Nidle, Gordon Scallion, Kryon Metatron, Oahspe, Ashtar,
Archangel Michael, et al), when they start attaching
specific dates to their predictions, they are really asking
for trouble. They are climbing out on a limb and sawing it
off. Unless they are absolutely positive of their source of
information, as well as their understanding & interpretation
of the info given,it is indeed a foolish idea to date
things. Not only does it discredit them, but it also
discredits who or what they claim to be their source of
information...and it feeds the fires of doubt in the
would-be believers, while at the same time giving the
scoffers, debunkers & non-believers more ammo with which to
discredit the Real Truth when it is presented. In other
words, it also hardens people's hearts, so that when a true
prophet of God comes along, because of the generalizations
we all tend to make, (lumping things all together), this
true prophet is likewise thrown in with all the rest and
considered to be just another false messenger. One should
also consider if Satan himself might not send along his
false prophets & seers, just so he can purposely discredit
them in the end. In so doing, he neutralizes any true
prophets which might come along later. This is indeed a
tricky tactic.

In Matthew 24:24, Jesus clearly warned us of false Christs &
false Messiahs arising in the Last Days:

"For there shall arise false christs and false prophets, and
shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch that, if it
were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."

The above is just one of many warnings throughout the Bible
regarding the strong delusion which shall prevail during the
Last Days...a time which by all indications, we are now
living in. Another interesting point regarding the above
verse, is that TRUE faith does NOT require great signs &
wonders. True faith, according to Hebrews 11:1, is believing
without seeing, and NOT seeing and then believing. But in
this day & age of the apostasy (the falling away from the
truth), people want all kinds of signs and wonders before
they will believe...and the Devil is happy to give them all
they want if it means getting them into his bag! He will go
to any length to deceive and trick the naive & ignorant! The
old Serpent has been around a lot longer than we, and he has
perfected his skill at snaring those who let their guard
down. Having said that, perhaps it might be a good idea to
really pray about these purported miraculous apparitions
which are reportedly seen all around the world at this
present time.

Consider also what 2 Timothy 4:3 has to say:

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound
doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to
themselves teachers, having itching ears;"

In this day and age, people have itching ears for anything
which will help them to block out the truth of God's
Word...& there are many false teachers, gurus, holy men,
channelers & false prophets who are more than willing to
fill their need. We have but to look at the current fight
between evolutionists and creationists to see how true this
is. Deception is to be found in ALL places, from our places
of worship, to our places of learning, to message
conferences, newsgroups, & mailing lists, to radio,
television and movies.

Another strong warning is found in Paul's second epistle to
the Thessalonians. 2 Thess 2:10b-11 tells us:

"...because they received not the love of the truth, that
they might be saved...and for this cause, God shall send
them STRONG DELUSION, that they should believe a lie."

When the prophet Jonah had disobeyed the voice of the Lord
and found himself trapped in the belly of the great fish, he
cried out in his desperation:

"They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy."
(Jonah 2:8)

When a person, society or nation rejects God's truth, &
instead listens to the lying voices and deceptions of the
Enemy, they are in essence rejecting the very mercy God
wishes to have upon them. God cannot have mercy on those who
refuse to acknowledge His existence, or who reject the truth
revealed in His Word through His many prophets, & His own
Son.

By rejecting God's truth through His true prophets as
revealed in His Word, we are accepting the lies of Satan
through his false prophets... and today they abound in many
forms within Christianity, within Eastern religions, within
New Age thought, within our governments, within our
educational systems...basically everywhere! We are
constantly being blasted, bombarded, brainwashed and
indoctrinated with the lies and delusions of Satan himself!

So the warning is very clear. The influence of these false
prophets, seers, channelers, prognosticators, astrologers,
etc, will be so strong and so convincing, that if it were
possible, even God's very elect will be deceived by them. In
the book of Daniel we are even told that some (of the
believers), "shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to
make them white, even to the TIME OF THE END: because it is
yet for a time appointed." (Daniel 11:35) This was written
literally thousands of years ago & is now happening in our
modern day. Many are falling away from their faith in the
one true God and His Son Jesus Christ...& it will only
continue to get worse as we draw closer and closer to the
end of man's worldly systems. When the world becomes dark
enough spiritually, then that 'man of sin', the Beast, the
Antichrist, will be revealed. (2 Thess 2:3)

So in regards to Sheldon Nidle's predictions of mass UFO
landings, as well as similar ideas proposed by other New Age
thought advocates, let me say that, yes, I believe there
will be an 'invasion' from outer space, two in fact: the
first one evil, and the second one good. The question is,
will it really be from outer space...or will it be INNER
space, from the spiritual realm?

As I and others have proposed before, there are currently
occult human political forces on the Earth, who are under
the direct influence of Satan himself & his minions. These
people have absolutely no regard for human life. They have
absolutely no belief in or fear of the one true God. At this
very minute, they continue with their evil plans to create a
New World Order which they will eventually hand over to
their Prince Of Darkness. These people are power hungry and
evil to the core. Of course, they don't see it that way. In
their eyes, they are doing what they believe is best to
bring the world together into one great socialistic
authoritarian regime...a regime which will be taken over by
a man who will make Hitler look like a Sunday school boy!

This plan has been a long time in the making, and they are
not about to be defeated by those who dare to stand up
against them and expose them. Voices like mine will
eventually be silenced in one way or the other. We are told
that the more we fight against & expose the lies of the
enemy, the more we will be persecuted for our beliefs. "Yea,
all that will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer
persecution" (2 Tim 3:12), but what a small price to pay for
the glories to be revealed!

At this point, I see two possibilities as to how the Prince
of Darkness will make himself known to the world: 1) He will
either materialize in a physical body & claim to be an
advanced intelligence from the stars, (and he will bring his
satanic armies with him, possibly in the form of a massive
UFO landing at some future date), or 2) he may choose to do
his dirty deeds from the spiritual world by possessing a
certain world leader referred to in the Bible as the Beast,
what we commonly refer to as the Antichrist. He will also
have his propaganda agent who will prepare his way, what the
Bible refers to as the False Prophet. Like John the Baptist,
this false agent of Lucifer will prepare the way for the
Antichrist/Beast. The Beast himself will be involved in
many military maneuvers, particularly in the Middle East &
European arena. Biblical indications are that he will
restore a temporary peace in the Middle East so that the
Jewish temple can be rebuilt and the daily sacrifice
re-instituted as in th days of old. He may in fact be
heralded as the long-awaited Jewish Messiah expected by some
Orthodox Jews. It would be wise of everyone to keep a close
eye on developments in the Arab-Israeli conflict, as
according to Biblical prophecy, from the beginning of the
world until the end, that area of the world is where all of
the major action will take place. Anything else is
secondary. All of these events are explained in the
prophecies of Daniel, in the Book of Revelation, in Jesus'
own endtime teachings, in the epistles, & in many other of
the prophetic books. I also discuss these events in more
detail in other of my articles.

Just remember, the above-described events are all a
carefully thought-out plan by Satan & his human cohorts to
deceive the world & to enslave the nations in one final
worldwide government of the rich & the elite.

In their rejection of the one true God & our Saviour, Jesus
Christ, the world currently looks for a saviour from
elsewhere, a political superman. In their moment of
desperation, ten nations will embrace this Beast as he
provides miraculous solutions to many of the world's current
problems. They will temporarily give their power to him, &
in fact will assist him in destroying Babylon the
Great...what some say is Rome/the Catholic Church, or else
New York/the continental USA. Indications in the Book of
Revelation as well as in the Old Testament, are that this
may be a preemptive nuclear strike. Only time will tell for
sure. For my own personal view on who 'Babylon The Great
Whore' is, please see my article of the same name.

Only too late will the great deception be exposed. Once the
Beast has secured his power base in the Mideast through his
deceitful conniving, he will break the holy alliance with
Israel, & he will declare himself 'God' and will sit in the
rebuilt temple in Jerusalem convincing all by great signs &
wonders that he is in fact 'God'...but this will all be
through the spiritual power of the Red Dragon, Satan
himself. (2 Thess 2:4, Revelation 13, etc.).

Together with his evil human cohorts, this Beast, the
Antichrist, the little horn, the stout fellow, the son of
perdition, will implement a mandatory worldwide credit
system under the New World Order. At this time, some nations
& peoples will be destroyed by him when they refuse to bow
down & worship him as god. Anyone refusing the Mark of the
Beast will be considered a social outcast & misfit, a rebel,
& will be hunted down & killed if caught. Unless you belong
to the worldwide credit system, you will not be able to buy
or sell anything. You won't be able to get a job or have
food to eat. You won't have a place to live. It will be
literally hell on earth ruled by Satan himself! If you rebel
against the New World Order, you will be a marked man! (or
woman)...but thank God this time period will only last for a
few short years...otherwise, as Jesus said in Matthew 24, no
flesh would be saved...everyone would die who didn't follow
the Beast.

But there is a wonderful light at the end of the tunnel.
When things appear the darkest for God's true children, when
Satan via the Anti- Christ, False Prophet and the ten
nations in league with them appear to have won planet Earth
for their Dark Kingdom, when the voice of truth has been all
but snuffed out, there will be a BENIGN invasion from outer
space when Jesus Christ returns with his heavenly legions to
destroy the Antichrist, the False Prophet and all those who
follow and support them. He will then destroy the evil New
World Order, and set up His own One World Government, the
true Kingdom of Light and Love, and rule the Earth with a
rod of iron as outlined in Daniel, Revelation, and other
places.

The above is a brief TRUE picture of what may be soon-coming
events. It is NOT the delusion presented by New Age false
prophets. It is NOT the rosy picture of the Earth & its
people moving into a higher dimension, or of some miraculous
photon belt which will move us into a higher consciousness
as proposed by some 'channelers'. It is NOT the talk of the
many 'Space Brothers' advocates who claim they are in
contact with higher beings who will soon visit us via a
massive UFO landing to help us through our transition
period. Before God's true Kingdom can be set up, the evil
people of Earth must be allowed to fill up their cup of
iniquity, so that when God begins to pour out His judgements
upon them, they will be righteous judgements. Therefore,
those expecting some miraculous transformation of the Earth
or of its inhabitants through anything other than the direct
intervention of Christ, are living in delusion, and sharing
their deceptive beliefs with others, likewise causing them
to fall into the same dark pit they themselves are in.

In the Bible we are told to try (test) the spirits to see
whether they be of God. No where does the Bible speak of us
having lived multiple lives in previous times. No where does
it speak of us being alien/human hybrids. No where does it
say that Jesus, Moses, Mohammed, Buddha and the rest are on
par with each other in some kind of Great White Brotherhood
or Spiritual hierarchy as is proposed by the 'Space Brother'
advocates. Jesus is clearly set above all who both came
before and after Him. He is the Son of God, the Saviour of
humanity. All of these other voices which certain New Agers
are listening to, in my view, are clearly not of God...and
if not, where then are they originating from? They are the
voices & spirits of delusion being sent to those who have
rejected the Truth of God's Holy Word, the Bible.

All of these people, these New Agers, whether they realize
it, accept it, or believe it or not, are in actuality
fulfilling the very verses I quoted previously. They are in
fact preparing the way of the Antichrist and the False
Prophet. If so many have already fallen for the Devil's
deceit now so early in the game, how many more will fall
later when the Antichrist/Beast begins to perform his great
signs and wonders in the sight of the Dragon/Satan?

I do not claim to know it all. If anything, I know &
understand very little...but I do believe I understand
enough of the Bible to realize that many of the things
currently believed and proposed by New Age thought advocates
is simply not God's truth. I cannot tell you how soon the
above scenario will occur. As Jesus Himself said, the day of
the Lord will come as a thief in the night. Jesus also said
that of the day and hour, only His Father knows. But Jesus
and many of the prophets did provide us with many signs &
specific prophecies so that we would know when the time was
drawing near. All indications are that the time is indeed
near...hopefully in my lifetime. I am in my forties. I've
been waiting over 25 years for the Lord's return. I will
continue to wait. But one thing I am sure of, is that
certain events MUST occur before the Lord will return. Those
events, as described above, have not happened yet as far as
I can tell. Some of these will be very visible signs which
will be hard to miss.

In short, if a massive UFO landing were to occur tomorrow, I
seriously doubt that it would be the Lord's Second Coming.
If there were a UFO landing tomorrow or next week or next
year, I would advise everyone to be on guard and to run the
other way! This is NOT the One we true believers are waiting
for! This is the deceiver, the impersonator, the serpent,
the dragon, Satan, Lucifer, Beelzebub! He is NOT your
friendly alien here to save you or planet Earth! He is here
to enslave you, to rape the Earth of its precious souls, &
to spit into the face of God! You personally cannot stop
him, but you can save yourself & help to save others by
accepting Jesus today & helping others to do likewise.

In the words of Jesus, 'Wherefore, by their fruits ye shall
know them.' People who blindly and naively accept the false
predictions & twisted lies of these so-called modern day
prophets, seers, astrologers and channelers, are bound to
face disappointment sooner or later. If a person is truly a
prophet of God, they will be right on the mark. What we have
today within New Age thought, and even amongst certain
Christian churches & organizations,is a lot of hit and
miss...this is not true prophecy. It is nothing short of
mass deception on a grand scale...and there can only be one
source for anything which is not God's truth...our own human
pride influenced by the Master of Deception himself. When
we, out of our own pride & rebellious hearts refuse or will
not submit to God's authority in our lives, we leave
ourselves wide open to all kinds of lies and deception. We
become deluded and corrupted in our ways. We become the
perfect channels and voices for the very enemies of God!

You need to really question the voices you are listening to.
God speaks loud and clear through His written Word. If
something you receive does not conform to that, you better
throw it out real quick and rebuke its source! God will not
contradict what He has already said in His written Word. He
is not the author of confusion, the Bible tells us, Satan
is. The Lord may give us an expanded understanding of
something He has already said in the past, particularly
regarding the prophecies yet to be fulfilled, but He will
never contradict Himself. Such is the case of the book of
Daniel. The prophet Daniel did not understand the things he
was seeing and told to write down. The Lord told him that
his book would be sealed up until the TIME OF THE END. The
fact that we are beginning to understand it is a clear
indication that we may in fact be the last generation...and
as Jesus said in Matthew 24:34 regarding the above events:
"Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till
all these things be fulfilled.&quot; If you want a clearer
understanding of what things He was referring to, just read
the 24th chapter of Matthew.

Without a doubt, the above message will not sit well with
some of you. My purpose in writing this is not to tickle
ears as some like to do. I am not out to win some kind of a
popularity contest. My primary goal & sole purpose is to
share the Truth as outlined in God's Word, to be a faithful
messenger boy like many others who follow the path that I
do. Each of you will have to draw your own conclusions based
on the above information I have provided. Bear in mind that
this is just a general Endtime overview. It does not contain
every detail of every scenario, but only a brief outline of
what is generally accepted by quite a few Christians who are
knowledgeable of Endtime events.

In conclusion, yes, there are wonderful times ahead for the
true believers, but they will not come about as soon as, or
in the manner which is described by some of the New Age
advocates. According to specific prophecies in both Daniel
and Revelation, there must be a final seven year period
during which all of the above events will occur. The closest
I can tell anyone at this point is, when you see an
agreement in the Mideast which will bring peace to Israel &
her neighbors, thus allowing Solomon's temple to be rebuilt,
when you see the daily sacrifice re-instituted as it was for
thousands of years prior to Christ's death on the cross, you
can be relatively certain that we have roughly seven years
left till Christ returns. When you see the Beast or
Antichrist break the covenant or treaty & stop the daily
sacrifice, you will also know we have reached mid-point in
the seven year period...and it may be at this time that the
greatest persecution the world has ever known will commence,
the Great Tribulation.

Are you personally ready for all of these things? Have you
accepted Jesus as your personal Saviour? It's not too late
to do it now!
